Romanian Kiosk Company
'With disarming, even deceptive simplicity Mircea Nicolae tells a complex multi-levelled tale of the coming together and coming apart of his family against the coming together and coming apart of socialism in Romania after the second world war.

Using documentary film footage, snapshots, architectural photos, his mother's shoes as well as pictures and models of professional and vernacular kiosks of modernist design, he gives us moving as well as critical images and symbols of the interweaving of private life and history, the personal and political.'
